arh i decided to revert the url back to mini-munchies becuz of marfun reasons and i cant change the name of the etsy shop.

Ops. there's another mini munchies website around!! Well of course, the world is so big :S Piang. Now must change name later say i copy -.- Too bad etsy shop can't change name!!

Decided to use back my old brand name heh heh. Thus, Bon ap.petite - enjoy your meal(though inedible)~ fused with petite being little, for little food~ Ta da! Representative of miniature food, yay!

Doesn't look as nice as mini munchies in the header but it'll have to do!

Berry Merry Mix!

Today i worked on a kitkat cake inspired by the one i saw at polar puffs and cakes! And here it is topped with slices of berry and aggregate fruits. (yea! raspberries and blackberries and blueberries and the like arent really berries man, but bananas are! How strange is the world when it comes to names.)

Here it is from sideview. Can see the kitkat-ness right? Well i hope! I had to make so many of them!

The aggregate fruits are bubbling with with joy and happiness. Well, they just look poofy and bubbly and i wanna squish them between my fingers! But no.

Another Fruit Tart 1:12

Today was all about making fruit canes and i made banana, kiwi and orange fruit canes~ took a whole day to do it i have no idea why. Arranged them on this little fruit tart! I know it looks a little goopy :X

Orange and banana slices with mango cubes and chocolate sticks on cream.

The two tarts together! How nice it would be if i had a whole row of 'em.

The Art of the Tart 1:12

I am having a terrible headache now but still i am eager to post this new project i worked on for the later part of the day! It's a fruit tart! (The giant cake-sized kind that goes for $7.90 or so a piece at fruit paradise. Of course you can eat that one) I'm too poor to eat the real ones at fruit paradise so i've made my own little miniature!

Immortalized in an inedible form so you can stare at it all day long.

It's sitting on a piece of round wooden cut-out. Got a whole bunch of them from daiso. I don't know what they're really for but they're perfect for this purpose! Daiso has close to everything!

And finally, the size. The life-sized fruit tarts are the same size as cakes, coming in 8 and 11 inches. This is a miniature of the 8-inch kind. The 1:12 scale should be 1.69cm. This little fella is just a little over 1.5cm so it pretty much fits the part!

Making fruit tarts is so fun! The only part i dont like is that i have to make so many slices of fruit to lay on one tart! But thats all part of it so thou shalt bear with it and be happy with result afterwards.

Pink little Cakelets 1:12

Today's project was inspired by a cute little mini cake i saw when i happened to walk past Breadtalk! It was like a strawberry cheesecake with macaroons but i forgot the actual name. Anyway it had pink cream on top of a little round of cheesecake and macaroons stuck sideways into it (different from how i've done mine) and a strawberry to top it off. It was SOO cute i just had to make a miniature inspired by it!

My version comes with a raspberry on top and tiny tiny tiny little beads alternating with the macaroon shells served atop a transparent leaf-shaped plate (actually its a bead) with a sort of iridescent coating accompanied by a whipped cream and candy ribbon.

It comes in 3 versions, differing only in the ribbon(gold and white) and the tiny bead colour - silver, gold and red (meant to be christmas colours but go well for anything actually!)

A better view of the colours here.

An adorable addition to any miniature sweets cafe!

Whole thing measures only a little more than 1cm! The macaroon shells barely make it to being 3mm across! This is my first attempt at making tiny macaroon shells and happy am i about how they turned out. (of course the first successful one calls for a mould for the rest!)

I had a bunch of ideas regarding how to display these (white display plate thing? piece of golden baking board?) But settled with this in the end and glued them on before i changed my mind any further! It seems to go well together but i'll probably make more of these little cakelets to be displayed in other ways!
